I was interviewing a big-name New York lawyer years ago and asked him what chronic mistake new associates tended to make. His answer has always stuck with me: “Don’t expect anyone to hand you a career.” It’s advice all of us should take to heart. Getting the job is only step one. Even performing well at it will only get you so far. What do you actually want to achieve by the time you are 60? 40? 28? Be a go-getter. Don’t just sit around and wait for it to happen. Whether you are a lawyer, a paralegal, a clerk, or a secretary, do something today to move closer to achieving your goal.
